Isola 2000 Ski Holidays
Just 90km from the sparkling Mediterranean coast and the city of Nice, Isola 2000 offers a striking contrast between snow-covered peaks and sun-drenched vistas. Nestled at the gateway to Mercantour National Park, the resort provides a scenic backdrop that appeals to nature lovers as much as ski enthusiasts.
What sets Isola 2000 apart is its remarkable snow record. Thanks to Mediterranean weather patterns, the resort often receives substantial snowfall, ensuring reliable skiing conditions throughout the winter. Even with all that snow, visitors enjoy plenty of sunny days to soak in the breathtaking mountain views, on a clear day you can see the sea from the Cime de Sistron making it an ideal destination for those who crave both excellent skiing and a touch of warmth.
Designed with convenience in mind, Isola 2000 is a purpose-built resort where ski-in, ski-out access is the norm rather than the exception. Families and casual skiers appreciate how easy it is to hit the slopes without long walks or shuttle rides, and the village’s layout encourages a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere. Whether you’re carving down powdery runs or simply enjoying the scenery, Isola 2000 delivers a seamless and enjoyable skiing experience.
Isola 2000 is a fantastic resort for a sunny ski trip, offering reliable high-altitude snow and amazing panoramic views.

Snow conditions in Isola 2000
Isola 2000 is celebrated for its consistently reliable snow, thanks to its high-altitude location and a unique microclimate that channels heavy snowfall from the nearby Mediterranean Sea. To complement nature’s bounty, the resort maintains an extensive network of snow cannons, ensuring skiable conditions throughout the season. While February and March often bring the deepest powder, January offers the clearest, sun-drenched bluebird days, giving visitors the perfect mix of fresh snow and bright alpine skies.
